"Happy Father’s Day" Gift Wrapping Paper

Father's Day is approaching. This is an emotional day for me. I never got to celebrate Father's Day because my father passed away when I was young. Today, when I think of my children wrapping a gift for their father, I am moved.

One of the strongest memories I have from my father is his tool box. A tool box containing dozens of tools collected over the years, well taken care of and each showing the wear and tear of regular use for which it was intended.

We all have tools boxes we inherited from our parents. With years and experience we add new tools with which we expand and enrich our life experiences.

For Father's Day I decided to show how we can make gift wrapping paper, very professional looking, by using simple means at almost no cost. My inspiration was, as you already understand, my father's tool box.
